Parliaments and the SDGs: A self- assessment toolkit
UNDP (2018)
The toolkit is designed to enable parliamentarians to identify good practices, gaps, opportunities, and lessons learned. That will equip parliamentarians to effectively institutionalize the new agenda and mainstream the various goals into the legislative process. The toolkit is not prescriptive. It has been designed to be relevant to all parliaments, whatever their political system and stage of development. Self-assessment is a method that parliaments can use to start their own process of internal benchmarking and to assess their state of preparedness for engagement with the SDGs. The conclusions of the self-assessment should allow parliaments to set priorities for reform in order to strengthen their response to the SDGs. The ultimate objective is to ensure that parliaments are ft for the purpose to play a full role in realizing the 2030 Agenda.
